tftr.org.au http://tftr.org.au/wp Welcome to the TFTR Blog. All TFTR users are welcome to browse and contribute. Sat, 12 Jun 2010 07:09:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Moving the Blog to the Forum http://tftr.org.au/wp/?p=410 http://tftr.org.au/wp/?p=410#comments Sat, 12 Jun 2010 07:09:08 +0000 admin http://tftr.org.au/wp/?p=410 I’ve spent the last few months focusing on the forum and have come to the conclusion that it’s better to have a very active club forum than it is to split everyone’s time between the Blog and the Forum. So the Blog will remain in place for reference but I won’t be posting new articles here. Instead new material will go on the club forum which is very active. Cheers, Dave Stevens (Stevo)

How long did it take the first team to get on the track? Would you believe 42 minutes!!! …

Sounds like a lot of fun although 12 hours is a tad long :) And this was only the first round LOL!!! Here’s the link to the full story on Red RC.

I’m sure I saw in one of the Aussie forums that some club was hosting something similar in Aus but building Mini M0-5’s instead of TT-01’s but I can’t find it again :(
